This past week my advisor e-mailed NAMI about the new contact lens policy and heard back that I would be able to apply for a waiver and if it was approved, I would be physically qualified for a pilot slot. That being said, I was advised by both aviators here at my unit that I would still be wise to get PRK due to the fact that having less than perfect vision would serve as an automatic hit against my package. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this kind of situation or more insight into how the SNA boards work. Do they consider stuff like this in your package and is it enough to put a big black mark on my stats (3.78 GPA Aerospace Engineering, 9/9/9 ASTB)? I appreciate any comments and I apologize in advance if this turns into another battle over the interpretation of the contact lens directive.
